How about checking the facts of the quotes contained in her speech!

FACT CHECK: Sarah Palin’s Speech
PALIN: “Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America’s energy problems – as if we all didn’t know that already. But the fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all.”

REALITY: PALIN SAID SHE WOULD BEG TO DISAGREE WITH ANY CANDIDATE WHO SAID WE CAN’T DRILL OUR WAY OUT OF OUR PROBLEM

Palin Said She Would Beg to Disagree With Candidate Who Said We Can’t Drill Our Way Out of Our Problem. Asked by Invester’s Business Daily “Some politicians and presidential candidates say we can’t drill our way out of our energy problem and that drilling in ANWR will have no effect. What’s your best guess of the impact on prices?” Palin responded, “I beg to disagree with any candidate who would say we can’t drill our way out of our problem or that more supply won’t ultimately affect prices. Of course it will affect prices. Energy being a global market, it’s impossible to venture a guess on (specific) prices.” [Investor’s Business Daily, 7/11/08]

  Well the US government reports on drilling offshore and in ANWR didn't venture a guess, but stated outright that drilling ANWR and offshore would, in full production, have the specific price impact of saving the American public between 3 and 5 cents per gallon.

  "Justmoreofthesame.com" is owned by the Democratic National Committee. It's a DNC Talking Points propaganda website.

  Why did Pelosi and Obama want to release oil from the strategic reserve to lower prices if an increased supply won't have much of an effect?
  Any release from the reserve would be insignificant compared to drilling offshore or in ANWR
